I was wondering if I could SBF back to stock 3.0 and then run the one click root method after I received the OTA 3.1 update?
Then once (if it will work) unlocked/rooted on 3.01 then apply the update from BRD?
Will this work or am I completely off?
..............?

Maybe that will be of assistance.

The device I'm talking about: Transformer ww 8.4.4.11
Bought the device with HC3.1 v. 8.4.4.11 ww
I've rooted the device, without problems.
Wanted to update OTA to 3.2 ww.
Unrooted the device. Checked with rootchecker, so it is unrooted, no superuser, no busybox on it. Now it has again HC 3.1 v. 8.4.4.11. ww
Since that, my ota doesn't work.
Question: Is there anyone who managed to update his device (OTA to 3.2 ww) after a rooting unrooting procedure?
If yes, please, please tell me how.
Thank you.
Well... it seems that no one managed to get the ota...
In this case I'm the only one who received it. Cos I did receive it.
i'm not shure if i understand your last post. Did you get the ota? cause i unroot my device today to 8.4.4.11 (HC 3.1) I can update is manual to 8.6.5.7 but i unroot it specialy to 8.4.4.11 to check if i will get again ota.
So, did you get it and had to wait much time or how i should understand your post ^^
Don't even need to unroot if you upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 using firmware for asus site.

I mean't OTA. I wanted to try, if i will get OTA updtes after flash a stock rom. In the post you show they talk about flashing update manual. I know about this and how to do it. So i will wait a few days and see if my TF will tell me something about updates.

I have. Assuming you have unrooted properly all you need to do now is re-flash an official update from the Asus site. If that doesn't work you haven't unrooted properly and you'll need to NVflash back to stock and re-flash another Asus download. Should be solved after this and allow fota updates to be downloaded normally and installed.
i have unrooted my TF like in this thread yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947&highlight=unroot
i took the original asus firmware 8.4.4.11. I could take the new one 8.6.5.7 but i specially took the older one to see if there will be an ota update. i have no message till now that there is an update for my device.
Does anybody know how long it could take? now there are 30h gone since unroot and flash an original asus FW. If i try manualy to search for an update my TF says there isn't one for my device now.
is there a difference if i take a WW Firmware or a DE? Don't know if there will be problems with the OTA updates if i take the WW Firmware. I'm from Germany, so i took the DE Firmaware.
EDIT: I forgot to say. I have the stock recovery and no Superuser app. And the flashing was without any problems.
Solved
I get the OTA update today. The only thing you have to do after unroot properly and flashing a stock rom is to wait some days.
Hello, I am running the stock ROM on the HTC Sensation XE.
I have rooted, but there is an update available, can I update through the system update that HTC put on the ROM? If I do could I brick/loose ROM.
PS. I am unlocked and S-ON.
If you are running GB now and updating to ICS possibly.
I was running the stock TMO US GB (S-off and rooted) and tried the official OTA update to ICS. The update applied, but the bootloader got stuck after the reboot. Had to reflash the stock TMO US 1.50 RUU to a non-rooted state, then I was able to successfully apply the HTC update of ICS.
Have RUU of the rom you have now to get back in case your update doesn't work out as planned.
I am on ICS already. Version 4.03.
There is a software update available, I want to know if I can do this without the phone ****ing up basically.
Just clicked on details and seen that it's a settings update. Just for settings only. Anyway, have decided to give it a go, lets see how it goes.
Hello,
How does the upcoming OTA update (4.3) affect people with unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs? I am new to this and this will be my first OTA update since rooting/unlocking.
Will I even get a notification requesting to update, or will it force me to update? And which should I choose? Will I have to re-root the phone after the update? Or can I even get the OTA update since it is rooted?
Sorry, I have a ton of questions, so if someone can just explain what is going to happen and what our choices are that would be great!
Thanks in advance!!!

I'll try to answer a few
...
It seems like the ota is delayed but who knows..
If you want to stay unlocked and rooted don't take the ota until a respected developer says otherwise.
You may or may not get a notification depending on your ROM or other system tweaks. If you are rooted only, you provably will.

The OTA will note affect you at all, you will not even be prompted for it due to running a custom ROM.
If your running a stock rom and have only rooted/unlocked, an OTA will break root and relock your bootloader.
If your running a stock rom/unlocked/and a custom recovery, you'll get prompted for the OTA, but it will not install, it will fail due to the custom recovery (twrp/cwm/etc).
You'll need to Odin to stock to receive an official OTA, but remember there is always a risk of an OTA breaking root permanently....
My advice is to stay custom, and flash a rooted custom stock rom that will surely be appearing here within a day or two of the OTA... But Verizon will probably not release 4.3 to us, and if they do it'll be at least 4 months...
Hi!
I'm from Germany and rooted my device (from amazon, retail). I know that I have to unroot my device to get the Adnroid 4.4 Update - but how can I unroot my device? Factory Reset? Wipe? And by the way - any german moto g have the 4.4 update already? is there an flashable version? and most important: can i root the 4.4 already?
merry xmas!

Hallo Pascal,
Unroot by installing the stock images again: http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/06/unroot-motorola-moto-g/
Nope, no German handsets have the update yet, US customers getting it first and even there the rollout is slow. Expect it in January as OTA or see next point:
Flashable version should be up in a few hours, there was a system dump and upload of the OTA, the devs are working on it. In this case, no need to unroot, just wait for the flashable version.
The root methods from 4.3 didn't seem to work, but you can flash SuperSU or Superuser from a custom recovery after flashing the OTA when it's available.
Merry Christmas to you, too!

I just received an OTA update on AT&T G2 to version D80020y. Thing is earlier I had a root but some how the update went through with the installation without a hassle. I can't remember where I downloaded the root from. Could you guys suggest a good rooting process which will allow me to install OTA updates in the future also.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have root? Any thing different you noticed after the OTA?

Having root and allowing OTA updates is a recipe for disaster. You're better off waiting for someone to post an update here in the forums that works with root or be certain that the update doesn't break root.

This thing doesn't get updated on the forums, that's the problem. I've asked for the 20u stock system folder from someone rooted on that version and no one has responded. The last version we have here is 20k stock rooted. I'm still waiting. Now I'd like to get my hands on an unmodified stock 20y I'll have to wait forever to NOT get.
